Jennifer Lawson, better known as Jenny Lawson, is an American journalist, author, and blogger. Known for her sardonic wit and her hysterically skewed outlook on life, Lawson has made millions of people question their own sanity as they found themselves admitting that they, too, often wondered why Jesus wasn't classified as a zombie, or laughed to the point of bladder failure when she accidentally forgot that she mailed herself a cobra. Her blog, thebloggess.com, is award-winning and extremely popular.

Lawson has been blogging about her strange little life for over a decade, combining dark humor with brutally honest periods of mental illness. In 2012, her first book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir, debuted at #1 on the NYT best-seller list. Her second book, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things, spent five months on the NYT top 20 best seller list. Her third and fourth books, YOU ARE HERE: An Owner's Manual for Dangerous Minds and Broken (in the best possible way), were also NYT bestsellers. Lawson is the proprietress of Nowhere Bookshop in San Antonio.

Her primary topics include mental illness, leadership, writing, criticism, invisible disabilities, joy, and workshops on how to make bedazzled nipple pasties that double as hats for cats. Lawson's humor and unique perspective on life have garnered her a dedicated following and critical acclaim in the literary world.
